To learn why the talk was banned, [see the story here](https://grahamhancock.com/ted-war-on-consciousness-hancock/) [The War on Consciousness - Graham Hancock](https://youtu.be/eOUWgtbIhgE) What is death? Our materialist science reduces everything to matter, materialist science in the West says that we are just meat, we’re just our bodies. So when the brain is dead, that’s the end of consciousness, there is no life after death, there is no soul; we just rot and are gone. Actually, many honest scientists should admit that consciousness is the greatest mystery of science and that we don’t know exactly how it works. The brain is involved in it some way but we’re not sure how. It could be that the brain generates consciousness the way a generator makes electricity, if you hold to that paradigm, then of course you can’t believe in life after death, when the generator’s broken, consciousness is gone. But it’s equally possible that the relationship — and nothing in neuroscience rules it out – that the relationship is more like the relationship of the TV signal to the TV set, and in that case, when the TV set is broken, of course the TV signal continues. And this is the paradigm of all spiritual traditions, that we are immortal souls temporarily incarnated in these physical forms. If we want to understand consciousness, the last people we should ask are materialist scientists. Instead, we should look at ancient cultures, like the Egyptians, who highly valued dream states. Many ancient cultures around the world used hallucinogenic plants to understand consciousness and expand their minds. However in today's society, visionary plants are highly illegal because they promote a state of consciousness that does not agree with the agenda of profit. Substances, like coffee, alcohol, sugar and pharmaceuticals, are forced upon the population, but possession of even small quantities of [cannabis](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP15q815Saw&list=PLFjS639NEc098XcGF0xvEOH0SR-YNUwtc&index=20&t=4s), [Ayahuasca](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaOfFixoxP8&t=0s&list=PLFjS639NEc098XcGF0xvEOH0SR-YNUwtc&index=55) or [psilocybin](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81-v8ePXPd4&t=4s&list=PLFjS639NEc098XcGF0xvEOH0SR-YNUwtc&index=56) will land you in jail.

The global economy is in crisis. The exponential exhaustion of natural resources, declining productivity, slow growth, rising unemployment, and steep inequality, forces us to rethink our economic models. Where do we go from here? In this feature-length documentary, social and economic theorist [Jeremy Rifkin](https://www.foet.org/) lays out a road map to usher in a new economic system. A Third Industrial Revolution is unfolding with the convergence of three pivotal technologies: an ultra-fast 5G communication internet, a renewable energy internet, and a driverless mobility internet, all connected to the Internet of Things embedded across society and the environment. This 21st century smart digital infrastructure is giving rise to a radical new sharing economy that is transforming the way we manage, power and move economic life. But with climate change now ravaging the planet, it needs to happen fast. Change of this magnitude requires political will and a profound ideological shift.

When one takes that black pill, they become infectious, and can't help but pass along their weak attitude to others. The hallmark of this small handful of subversives is their mastery of illusions... they're a house of cards, a wizard behind a curtain, using every ounce of effort to present themselves as both stronger than they really are, and more representative of the norm. Illusions only prevail if they're bought into and embraced... and for decades, we've embraced them. This needs to stop. Not having the courage to stand up or be honest about one's viewpoints is one thing, but actively working to demoralize and depress others is something entirely different, and shouldn't be condoned. It's the western patriarchal and hierarchical tradition that let the reins of power slip from their hands, and its we that need to fight to regain those reins... and not only for our own sake, but for the existential sake of the world at large. As with any species, when the hierarchy becomes sick and malformed, all end up suffering as a result. Just imagine what this new breed could turn this world into, within our lifetimes.. the sheer amount of pain and hardship and depression they'd usher in in exchange for enriching themselves and their masters, without so much as a moment's hesitation. *Reject the black pill*.
